Wished the Bentley boys well after the game. Class team and coach. Good spirited effort, but ran out of gas in the third period. Hard to keep all 56 shots out. Top line is for real. Good clean game, also.
Best of luck in the AHA.

Re: Bentley Hockey 2012-2013: The New Era of JAR Pride Begins
rough go of it last night. Bentley wasn't the better team but they weren't the worse team either (Does that make sense?)
The highlights are up on mgoblue.com on the front page. On the goals Michigan scored, Bentley had a chance to cllear the net (especially on the first one) and just didn't. The defense reared a little bit of an ugly head from what I could tell. And then by the time it got down to the later stages, Michigan just put the finishing touches on it.
I like that Bentley didn't quit and scored the 3rd goal. A 6-3 final is what I would've honestly predicted. Early lead, shock the Wolverines, then they come back and overwhelm you but youre never really out of it. I thought Komm was much better than Racine, but Michigan shot 56 times on Komm. Law of averages there.
Once the defense gets tightened up, I think it'll be a-okay. I don't know why but Dan Koudys didn't appear on the line sheets; I'm guessing he was scratched in favor of Derek Bacon to get Bacon some playing time in an OOC. I would expect Koudys to be back in the lineup for the UAH game; he's too good defensively to keep out of the lineup. Although he did rack up 12 PIM including a misconduct against SHU so maybe it was punishment. Who knows. Either way, moving forward, I'd assume he'd be playing.
Team was flying back today instead of going to the football game. They got an early morning flight according to the players' twitters. Good full weekend of rest in before next weekend. I don't mean to be rude or undercut playing a team like Michigan, but I get the feeling that the Wolverine weekend being a one-off game got lost in the shuffle of the Harvard game next week with Alabama coming in. Doesn't feel like too many people were making a huge deal of it besides us on the board.
Anyways, I was impressed by MIchigan but not overwhelmed. I think it's clear why they're who they are though. I can't wish them anything but luck the rest of the way since everyone's been very gracious (especially streaker coming over to our board), and Red Berenson spoke so highly of the program this week on the pregame show.
I'll now go back to hating RIT for getting that win over you guys last week

Re: Bentley Hockey 2012-2013: The New Era of JAR Pride Begins
That would be my guess, too. The 10+2 matching major roughing and fighting penalty was a bit embarrassing in a game that was long decided. Of course, on the same play that led to the Koudys penalty, the 5-minute major on Hartung for "charging the goalie" was a joke, as Hartung did everything that he could to avoid the goalie, including his 10-point landing on top of the cage.
After seeing so much rubber on Friday night, wonder if Komm will get this coming Friday night off against Huntsville to be fresh for Hahvud?

Re: Bentley Hockey 2012-2013: The New Era of JAR Pride Begins
I felt badly for the Chargers last Thanksgiving when they got bludgeoned by three Hockey East teams in four nights. But, Bentley cannot overlook the Chargers, even with the excitement of 750+ screaming Falcons fans joining the team at Bright the next night.

Re: Bentley Hockey 2012-2013: The New Era of JAR Pride Begins
I feel like the hubbubb surrounding the weekend needs to be projected two-prong. This is a very good chance for Bentley to assert some dominance on a lower-tier team. Nothing against UAH because I feel horrible for the way they've been treated the last 3 years by the NCAA, but Bentley needs to reassert itself after a 6-3 loss with a big beatdown.
I'm assuming there will be bus service to the JAR again from the campus?

Re: Bentley Hockey 2012-2013: The New Era of JAR Pride Begins
It appears that perhaps Bentley returned about 30 tickets to Harvard, as there are a bunch of contiguous seats that just opened up near the Bentley bench. About 40 tix left total.
I will be the clown behind the Bentley bench with the retro/old school 2002 Bentley jersey. My wife will be the obnoxious loud one.

The Falcons Nest always has people on the inside, so we were able to reserve the last three rows in the section behind the Bentley Bench. I told them to put Gloria Larson as far away from the nest as possible...things tend to get a little rowdy.

Yes buses will be available for students on Friday for the UAH beat down. The Nest will be in full force. Horns, Signs, cheat sheets the whole 9 yards. Might have to shut it down in the 3rd if we are up big to save our voices for Saturday.

Re: Bentley Hockey 2012-2013: The New Era of JAR Pride Begins
Talked to Dan during the Michigan game and he told me he wasnt in the lineup to give Bacon some time. No punishment from Soder at all, just getting the freshman some playing time in a "meaningless" game. Would have been nice to have him out there but id rather they test out the new guys in OOC games then against Air Force or RIT.

Bringing the sign to Harvard? Haha
Re: Bentley Hockey 2012-2013: The New Era of JAR Pride Begins
That makes sense to me, but I would say that the Huntsville game will be much more "meaningless" than was the Michigan game, where an upset win would have done wonders for Bentley and the AHA. Beating hapless Hunstville is expected. I put the Hahvud game in the same category as the Michigan one; no one is picking us to beat or even tie Hahvud in the AHA Pick 'Em thread.

Re: Bentley Hockey 2012-2013: The New Era of JAR Pride Begins
Careful in calling them "Hahvud" - you might upset them and then they'll cry about how great they are and how we don't have a real program. Harvard fans are petulant; if you want an example go look at their board. I posted an article with a spelling error and they couldn't wait to make a comment about my lack of spelling prowess. They also don't deal with criticisms very well.
I realize by saying this I might invite inflammatory statements or receive *GASP* negative reputation from them. But hey, what can I do? I'm just a lowly Bentley fan

Correction: Two votes for Bentley over Hahvud in the AHA Pick 'Em thread.

Re: Bentley Hockey 2012-2013: The New Era of JAR Pride Begins
Admittedly, I'm going against Bentley in my pick (wahhhhhhhhhhhh).
I think the game is going to be insanely close, possibly even to OT, but Harvard picks up the win. I think it's going to be one of those games where it's 4-3 in OT, where Harvard is winning 3-1 and really coughs up the game and has to rally late, then they pick up the win by the skin of their teeth.
I'm not going to be shocked if Bentley wins this, and it was very tough. Plus, I didn't want to jinx them by picking Bentley and immediately watching them lose when I did (yes, I wholly believe if I picked Bentley, they'd lose the game).
